The Spartan Race is not for adults only!

Spartan Race is not only limited to adult fun! Bring the kids who can participate in their very own Spartan Junior Race.

Spartan Junior promotes health, physical activity and FUN! Spartan Junior is about a return to the childlike sense of adventure that we have lost while getting sucked up into “normal life” of over-scheduled and over-organized activities. Spartan Race wants to keep this sense of adventure alive in our kids BEFORE they lose it. Today, a typical child devotes an average 7.5 hours each day to entertainment media: TV, video games, cell phones, and movies. Get up, get out, and get gritty!

Date: 10 September, 2016

Distances/Ages: 4-7 years, 8-10 years, 11-13 years. Distances: depending on age group juniors will complete a distance of 400m - 1.2km.

Registration: online or on site on event day in the Junior Race Welcome Booth, right next to the Juniors Race course. Both, race packet pick up for signed up juniors and new registrations, have to be completed until 1h before race start.

Schedule: To be announced

Heats: Heats of around 20 juniors

Entry Fee:Online: 12,- /// on site 15,- Each child will receive a Finisher's Medal. All benefits of the Junior Race are handed over to a charity. Several start times for each distance for the Spartan Junior Race provide adequate flexibility for the entire family to go race.

Rules: No medical certificate is needed- we will just ask the parents to read and sign a waiver during sign up. It is the sole responsibility of the parents or the legal representative to evaluate and decide on the participation of the child. The organizer undertakes all necessary actions to make the Junior race as safe as any possible.

Every team with 5 or more team members automatically joins the team ranking- you do not need to register your team for that ranking. In order to be ranked, 5 team members need to finish the race.

The team members do not have to be in the same heat, but can race in different heats. It will increase your team experience and you can run as a team in the same heat, but it's not mandatory.

A team can be composed by male and female athletes, but there is no separate ranking by gender.

Decisive for the team ranking is the time of the 5th athlete of the team in finish. It's not about the best 5 or more individuals but about the best team effort. So run through the course as a team and you will get in with a better team time.
